Here Comes the Push for More COVID ‘Restrictions’ – Opinion

Get ready for it — here comes the push for more COVID restrictions in the face of the Omicron variant.

Earlier this week, CNN medical analyst Leana Wen had people talking because she said that the cloth masks that most people wear are little more than “facial decorations,” and there was no place for them in light of Omicron.

Of course, the truth is that cloth masks have always been insufficient when it comes to the question of COVID, as we’ve noted before. But it’s something that the Biden Administration has not addressed in its official remarks, despite constantly pushing masks.

Wen seems to be saying it now. They want to tighten restrictions and increase the number of types you can use for masks.

Here are her latest comments chastising Joe Biden for not doing enough to impose more “restrictions” on the unvaccinated, saying that Biden has been too easy on them so far. As she speaks out about the difficulties of this process for the vaccinated, listen as she demonizes those who are not. She says restricting the vaccinated doesn’t do more, but that you need to “really focus on restricting the unvaccinated.”

This is not only a ridiculously dictatorial statement, but it also ignores the fact that the virus can be spread to others by vaccinated people.

But Wen isn’t the only one. Let’s listen to former Obama guy Dr. Zeke Emanuel, now Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania and chair of the Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy. Last time we spoke, Emanuel had been spreading false claims that the Delta virus was just as infectious as chicken pox. He wants to force more mandates, force N95 masks on people, and “flood the zone” with tests so that people are tested twice a week because they can’t get beyond the 61 percent vaccinated.

Okay, so? When people refuse to join this train, what can you do but to make them feel even more pressured? It’s crazy train time.

Biden has claimed — for months — that 70 percent were vaccinated with one dose (which isn’t fully vaccinated).According to a White House official fact sheet, 70 percent of adult Americans were fully vaccinated as stated on November 4. But it’s never gotten to 70 percent of all Americans vaccinated, according to the CDC stats; it’s still at 61.7. Joe Biden appears to be making misleading statements once more. That was an arbitrary goal he set for July 4 that he didn’t meet, but he declared success anyway.

So, they picked that as a goal, didn’t truly meet it, spun it, and now liberals want to mandate everyone into oblivion to try to get there. The truth or the facts about Omicron don’t seem to factor into the efforts, just how it can be used to push people further to the goal of more vaccinations.

But Democrats trying to beat people into submission didn’t help with someone like Joe Manchin when it came to the Build Back Better bill. Democrats are just pushing more people away when they act this way and getting more resistance.

We’ll have to see where Biden goes with all this effort but given how easily he’s been pushed on other things, it isn’t hard to believe that more things may be coming.
